Gulford, Indiana 47022 Mr. Edward Smith, This letter is in regard to the property located at 198 Columbus St. in Sebastian which was previously owned by your brother Gregory Smith who passed away on July 29, 2013. The property is in major disrepair and is considered an Unsafe Structure per City Code of Ordinance 26-34.08. Recently, you were sent documents from our attorney Burney Carter. Since Gregory Smith had no other family members that would otherwise inherit the property, the documents sent request the signature of your mother, Ms. Joan Pollitt, which will assist us in obtaining an Order Determining Deed. Once the property deed is obtained, it has been agreed upon by both parties that the property deed will be signed over to the City of Sebastian so the city can take the appropriate steps to demolish the building and remove the unsafe conditions that exist. After the demolition is completed, it is the City's intention to re- sell the property and use the proceeds to recoup the City's associated costs involved in the acquisition of the property, demolition of the structure and the subsequent sale of the property. You have stated that you have incurred some expenses associated with burial of your brother Gregory Smith and would like to be reimbursed for those expenses from the proceeds of the subsequent sale of the property. Your request has been reviewed by our City Council, our City Attorney and our City Manager. It has been determined that the City will reimburse you for your burial expenses, but only after all other expenses incurred by the City as a result of the acquisition of the property, the removal of the unsafe structure and the sale of the property have been paid. The burial expenses will be determined by evidence of receipts supplied by you. The City of Sebastian appreciates your cooperation in this matter. Feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.

The previous owner died in 2013 and the property has deteriorated to the point that It constitutes a public nuisance, a health hazard and an "attractive nuisance" in the community. Neighboring property owners brought this derelict property to the attention of the City with numerous complaints. A substantial portion of the roof has fallen in and the interior walls have accumulated significant mold damage. The City's Building Director has determined that the property cannot be repaired and must be demolished. The property is considered an Unsafe Structure per City Code of Ordinance 26-34.08. The Indian River County Property Appraisers Office has recently inspected the property and agrees with the foregoing conclusions. The Office has reduced the 2015 assessment to the lowest amount possible under Department of Revenue Regulations. All property taxes including an escrow for 2015 taxes have been paid. The Sebastian City Council was made aware of the condition of the property and the fact that no family members were interested in inheriting it and becoming responsible for any repairs. The City Council determined, consistent with staff advice, that the most expeditious way of addressing this public nuisance was for the City to acquire ownership and demolish the structure, Therefore, the public purpose in this case is the remediation of a public nuisance and health hazard. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Very truly yours, Robert A.
